The polished black granite Millennium obelisk commemorates lives lost in armed conflicts since 1945. There is a solemn inscription: We name before God, These from our homes and parish, Who have laid down their lives In the cause of peace and freedom. The Great War memorial can be seen in the shadow on the right Image This large red brick church was designed by E.F.Reynolds and completed in 1930. It is at one end of the axis of a former council estate that has been rebuilt as private housing. The Paget School was and still is at the western end. The straight axial Varley Road has been remodelled and traffic-calmed as Hale Grove, Varley Road and Paget Green. St Mary's Close, foreground, is a paved circle on a spur from Padstow Road.
